When Thankfulness Creep Up On You

Thankful Child in Prayer




Waking up at my usual time of 4:30 or 5:00 in the morning, I jumped out of bed and started down the hallway on the way to the kitchen to make coffee, let the dogs out, let Henry the dog out to retrieve the paper, and hand out the cookies for a job well done. 

The morning quickly became a cycle of dog play, you know the nipping, licking, and the playful exchange of bones.  Hectic and not peaceful but I did manage to read the paper and have coffee.  Cleaned up the kitchen, straightened up the play area the family room has become with two dogs, made my bed, got dressed and now I am in the office writing this post.

I put on an album of Bette Midler's called Bette of Roses.  The dogs have settled down with the music and one of my favorite songs she did is now playing.  Peace just washed over me and I am Thankful this day and I Believe In You.  Music, part of the tapestry of the Soul.

Mary:  You're so right ... sometimes it's life's little moments that are the best.  I'm re-learning that, now that we have grandchildren and little ones in our life again.  Such sweet memories and so many things to be thankful for ... thank you ...

Gene those small moments are sometimes the largest.  Grandbabies are certainly the best, you just see so many things you did not in raising their parents.  Perhaps because you are not in the thick of it and can just enjoy.

Sussie, we do get up early.  If I sleep in until 6 I feel like so much of the day is gone.  I know it is not but habit I guess.  I remember when I was really small I would be the first one up in the house and play, or read when I was older, whatever....much to my Mother's chagrin.  LOL

I couldn't agree more! Music is such a part of me. Sometimes I find myself humming when I am going to sleep. I got that from my mother! HA!

The first thing I do when I walk in my office is turn on the music!!!  I have always loved that song too.

Nice post Mary. I too am an early riser - miss the peacefulness when I sleep in - which is rare. Next week ought to be interesting with DSL -  and falling back. I'll be up at 4 AM - lol. ( You too?)

I am an early riser in a family of late risers, and I love it when we get an extra hour of sleep!

Joni, music is a huge part of me, quiets and settles me down, gives me the balance I need more often than not. I always turn on music when going to bed, it stays on for the length of the CD but I am gone within a few minutes.  Have done this since I was little.  Some things just never change.

Kathy that song has always had a lot of meaning for me and Bette Midler is so powerful in her voice.

Debb, yes I AM up at that time, one's body clock takes time to change. I don't like sleeping in especially but the change over does take me a few days to acclimate myself.  I too love the quiet time of early mornings if everyone else will sleep just a little longer.  When I have a painting going it is the very best time for me to paint but as soon as everyone else gets up, I am done for a while.

Heather my husband is also an early riser and lots of times gets up before me, I follow within minutes as the energy of the house ramps up with two dogs and my husband up. I love it when they all sleep a little longer which is not often.

Laura, you are more than right that Thankfulness is definitely the first step to getting and achieving what we want and need.

Many Blessings Your Way
